Witnessing :
As you can see in my drawing above, four disc-shaped UFO craft actually did periodically manifest from thin distorted air and haze or fog, at Fremont State Lakes this day in eastern Nebraska during the late 1970s. All three of us saw them…and they interrupted our work at times. At other times we saw them but we mysteriously ignored them. The manifestations were controlled in such a masterful way that we continued to work until it was time for lunch. They were controlled by who I call the mysterious UFO intelligence or intelligences …who I believe is (or are) very similar to God!
This expert control of our actions and minds now seems to have been extremely elaborate. I know this control was elaborate and accurate because the timing of the manifestations seemed to perfectly fit what we were doing, what we were thinking, and what we were saying…second by second. It all occurred so subtly and perfectly that we left for lunch only casually discussing what was happening. When we returned from lunch, they were gone. However, we also encountered them on other days until the house was done. This is just one example of multiple witnessing.
There were many other examples of elaborate mind and craft control throughout the 46+ years! Yet, only a few of us recalled only a few of them for very short times until I experienced my unusual 1986/1987 flood of recollections. Even since then I have discovered only a few to several witnesses who solidly recall a few parts of several encounters. Yet, over 120 different people were with me at different times during the encounters throughout the entire 46+ years. How can that be?

(Above is the sixth article in a series I hope to write, one article added as time and my physical and mental state allow. This means this general/overall article series will grow with time. I have to do this because my website only allows a limited number of articles in the righthand column…and my mind is becoming more and more limited as I grow older. Because my mind is deteriorating, consider that there might be mistakes. However, I will be writing without rereading my previous material [the books, etc.]; I’ll be writing spontaneously as I recall the mysterious things that have happened to me. I will cancel the previous articles when I write a new article, but add the old articles with the new article as time flows by. In this way the article list in the righthand column will not grow. But this article will grow, hopefully day by day or week by week. It will change and will be at the top of the articles list in the righthand column.

A year or so after I began recalling my 46+ years of UFO experiences a few people recognized that my encounters most probably had happened. Yet, as time passed most people had a difficult time believing that they were real. And those who believed that they most probably did occur, could not fathom that they occurred in our real time/space. I even had a difficult time and still have a difficult time believing they took place in our normal time/space. Yet for several reasons I know they actually did occur and they definitely affected our time and space, as have the encounters of others also.
One of a few people who consider my encounters are real is Wendy of https://wendyscoffeehouse.blogspot.com/ or https://talkingtonightlights.wordpress.com/ .
When I first discovered her, I wrote to her and she responded with such a deep understanding of what had happened to me, I was astonished…enough so that I have been communicating with her for several years. And she has responded and included a lot of my writings and drawings on her websites. She also has interviewed me and my oldest daughter. Her interviews were audible and in writing. See them on my website https://johnfosterufos.com/ and her websites.
She is one among a very few who truly understands what is actually happening!
I owe her a great deal for many reasons! Check her websites out; you will not be disappointed:

I will write an upcoming article explaining why I believe my so-called UFO encounters actually occurred in our time/space.

“Take care of the wildlife and forests!”
One evening during the summer of 1948 or 1949 our family and the family from Chadron State Park were fishing at Memphis State Lake located a few miles north of Ashland, Nebraska. A boy and a girl were in the other family and my two older sisters and I in our family. We children were fishing along the north arm of the lake and our folks were fishing and visiting along the north shore, approximately 100 to 150 feet away.
It wasn’t long before a UFO disc-shaped craft began to manifest near us out over the water. It manifested slowly at first from a distortion in the atmosphere, just 3 to five feet above the water. And as it came into view, various densities of fog also developed in the distorted volume of air…and the craft changed from invisible to transparent, to translucent, to what seemed to be completely solid. It then disappeared and reappeared several feet away, still out over the water, about 5 feet above the water…or this was another craft. This happened four or five times.
The girls screamed loudly and ran fervently back and forth near each manifestation.
My oldest sister screamed that it was all so strange we would have to run and tell our folks about it. So she and I began running toward our parents.
When we were about half way to our parents, another manifestation began to occur several yards north of us, up on a small hill. I ran close but cannot recall anything significant that took place, except hearing a male voice speaking lowly for a short time. When I arrived where our parents were, I found my sister was explaining what happened. We discussed it for a time and decided we should inform the other parents who were in a camper trailer near us. When they heard the details, they got in their car and drove to the arm of the lake where we had encountered the UFO or UFOs.
This was just the beginning of a lengthy encounter that lasted a few to several hours, at different places around the lake area. We heard the other father screaming at someone in the craft a few times. We saw the craft manifest in different places. It changed form, hovering above the lake and at other places near us. The other father periodically screamed at someone loudly who was replying to him. This voice we heard was lecturing him about his job with the Nebraska Game And Parks Commission, etc. As a booth-like craft hovered near us above the water, we heard the voice and the other father talking loudly from inside the booth. He mysteriously had been placed in the booth without his consent.
My father said he didn’t know what to do, but a short time later he said, “I know what to do!” It seemed as if he had received a mental message. He took off his shoes and waded out into the water and just stood there looking up. A short time later a blue beam of light mysteriously descended from the bottom of the craft. When it hit my father, he mysteriously disappeared. We heard him later talking with the voice and other father.
During the encounter we heard the conversations while they were in The Large Booth…and elsewhere after our fathers had descended and were with us. The conversations were related to their professional jobs that were related to “Taking care of the wildlife and forests!” Other later conversations were with me and my mysterious responsibility to listen to them and cooperate with them!

“Take care of the wildlife and forests!”
Posted on September 9, 2024 by jafos
During most of his career with the Nebraska Game And Parks Commission, my father was the Assistant Director of the Nebraska Game And Parks Commission. He began his career shortly after he finished high school at Rock Creek Fish Hatchery…slinging chopped beef liver to young Trout. He was very conscientious, earning respect from his superiors.
When the Great Depression hit in the 1930s, he was asked to head up crews for Nebraska to participate in President Roosevelt’s rebuilding projects. He supervised local crews to plant trees all over Nebraska. He also used crews to construct state recreation areas and state parks. He used crews to build roads and lakes, to improve fish hatcheries and eventually to build new fish hatcheries.
He learned what the jobs required technically on and off the jobs.
During early World War ll was when he was appointed the Assistant Director of the Nebraska Game And Parks Commission. He was prevented from enlisting into the Navy because his talents and expertise were so valuable. As it turned out at that time, he was the only one who could properly manage the state parks, the state recreation areas, the fisheries, and the construction crew. He had a two year degree from Sterling College in Kansas and got his Professional Civil Engineering License. His engineering knowledge was so good, he corrected some of the technical details the Corps Of Engineers were using to build a few of the dams in Nebraska.
He was a hands-on manager. He traveled all over the state frequently to converse with all of his supervisors face-to-face. This was because he also had studied and continued to study the techniques of good management. My mother, my two older sisters, and I also traveled with him from time to time when we could.
And, as you have probably already guessed, we encountered UFOs many times along the way. We also encountered them while visiting those many places that were created to nurture wildlife, i.e. fish and game, and while visiting state parks and recreation areas.
My father was offered the director’s position after the war when the director died. However the job was too political for his taste, so he turned it down. He remained assistant director and also chose the position of Supervisor Of The State Fisheries…allowing officers in the military to supervise the other Game And Parks Commission departments.
All of this, I suspect, is at least partly why I was chosen to help “them” (the UFO intelligences) change humankind. See Chapter 7 in the book Eminent Discovery Volume 1.
As the drawing above indicates, I and those people who were with me, many times, were encouraged to “take care of the wildlife and forests!” Bog Lake was just one of those times when a friend and I experienced many complex episodes that emphasized the fact that humans were created among other things to take care of the wildlife, the forests, and nature as best we could. It seems as if this was one of the most important reasons “they,” the mysterious UFO intelligences participated in our creation…using something similar to test tubes…just as I was told during a few UFO encounters.
Like humans taking care of the wildlife and forests, “they” also told us that we should leave horses alone when we saw “them“ working with the horses. This was so “the horses, like humans, could learn how to improve themselves.”

Witness
“Witness” is a verb and noun. To witness is to perceive. To witness is also to report what has been perceived. A witness is one who has perceived or reported what they have perceived. A witness is also one who has perceived but has not reported what they have witnessed. If this is true, then I don’t fully agree with R. Leo Sprinkle, PhD who has written the Foreword to my books. Leo is now deceased and cannot rebut my interpretations of “witness,” which I retrieved from Merrium-Webster Dictionary. I’m not degrading Leo here, but simply trying to clarifying “witness.” Leo was a wonderful, talented human being who understood reality well above most of us normal(?) human beings. (See Leo’s Foreword in the book Eminent Discovery Volume 1.)

To continue:
One thing has become evident to me over the years, since I experienced my flood of recollections in 1986 and 1987. That is: Among several other things, the encounters were so generally unbelievable, people who heard about even the simplest sighting had a difficult time believing UFO encounters could actually occur.
As a matter of fact some of the witnesses to my encounters, those who I at first approached, could not recall the bizarre occurrences. I believe there are natural and possibly some unnatural reasons for this. (I believe they were witnesses because I saw them witness what happened. …I am a witness to their witnessing.)
First, I believe the subject of UFOs was such a cultural taboo in those days, most people didn’t want to expose the fact that they could possibly believe in UFOs; they thought it would ruin their reputations. If they even slightly suggested that they might believe UFOs were real, they might be suspected to have an overactive imagination or that they might be fantasy prone. I felt when I at first questioned some of them, they were hesitant, at first reacting as if my questions bothered them, even if I didn’t mention the word UFOs. If I mentioned the word UFOs, I could tell they were definitely bothered.
When I first approached most of them, I would simply ask; “Do you remember the time when…?” When they would answer, I would simply ask: “What happened?” Then, “What happened next?” Then, “What happened next?” Etc. Some began to remember…many did not. In most cases, I would not mention UFOs until they began to recall the strange events.
In 1986, 1987, 1988, and a few years later, a few witnesses who had heard about my encounters — through hearsay, mail, or news articles — contacted me and asked me if I could remember when this or that happened. They normally referred to us seeing mysterious lights at specific places and times. These were high school friends and relatives.
My first inquiry of a witness, besides my wife and oldest daughter, was in late 1986. I called him via long distance and asked him about a craft hovering over a fountain at Chadron State Park some 30 odd years earlier. He immediately recalled it; but he at first thought it was a helicopter, etc…eventually realizing it couldn’t have been a helicopter.
I recalled his dad had also seen the craft and the two men who descended from the craft during that same period of time on that same day. When I also contacted his father some 30 years later, he repeated the exact same words I recalled he spoke during the encounter, etc. I later met with the son and we discussed the encounter in detail…and he picked out my drawing of the encounter out of a large stack of drawings when I was out of the room.
This was enough evidence to convince me that my method of recalling the encounters, my methods of refereeing my own thoughts, and my methods of double checking the facts were valid. I knew then what I and the son and father were recalling was true and accurate…i.e, according to our personal (individual) perceptions of our own perceptions that occurred when the encounter occurred.
When our two daughters and son recalled separate events that had occurred at Dillion in Colorado, in 1975, I believed my memories were rock/solid, that they were true and accurate. When my wife recalled a couple of sightings after my recollections and when our oldest daughter and I recalled the four or five flying wings fly over our house in or near the year 2000, some 13 to 14 years after my flood of recollections, I knew what I had recalled was even more true and accurate. And I believe most of us know true and accurate, like art, are in the eyes of the beholder…or you might say in the perception if the beholder.
All of this and a lot of additional evidence proves to me that my witnessing and other abductees’ and contactees’ (experiencers’) witnessing are more true and accurate than is comfortable to most non-experiencers on many levels.
